President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. announced on Friday that he will
elevate the role of science in his cabinet as part of an effort to
“refresh and reinvigorate our national science and technology strategy.”

Mr. Biden will nominate Eric S. Lander, the director of the Broad
Institute of M.I.T. and Harvard, to serve as director of the Office of
Science and Technology Policy, and also appoint him to serve as
presidential science adviser. For the first time, the position will be
elevated to the cabinet level.

The appointments signal a drastic switch from the role of science in the
Trump administration. President Trump left the position of science
adviser empty for 18 months, while his administration routinely ignored
the guidance of government scientists on issues including the
coronavirus pandemic, chemical pollution and climate change.
